Suotana unveil new single ‘The Crowned King of Ancient Forest’

As the path of OUNAS II unfolds, Finnish melodic death metal visionaries SUOTANA unveil the next chapter of their arctic saga: the stunning new single “The Crowned King of Ancient Forest”, out on all platforms.

Following the momentum of the widely praised Twilight Stream, this powerful new track explores the ancient myth of a celestial moose – a crowned king who carries the sun in his antlers, galloping across the skies from dawn to dusk, shaping stars and lakes in his wake. Through its thunderous riffs, sweeping melodies, and poetic lyricism, the song continues SUOTANA’s journey into the mysticism, nature, and cultural soul of the far north.

The band comments:

Our new single dives into the wild soul of the North. A haunting tribute to the moose, a sacred creature in Finnish mythology. Blending raw emotion with folklore, it echoes ancient forests and the primal bond between nature and spirit

With The Crowned King of Ancient Forest, SUOTANA once again merge their melodic ferocity with a deep sense of identity – echoing the elemental beauty of the Finnish wilderness and the mythological roots that inspire their sound. The track marks the third single taken from the highly anticipated new album OUNAS II, set for release on August 29th, 2025. Pre-Order the album here: https://lnk.to/OunasII

Later this year, SUOTANA will bring OUNAS II to stages across Europe, joining forces with fellow Finnish heavyweights WOLFHEART and BEFORE THE DAWN, along with Greece’s FULL HOUSE BREW CREW, on a massive autumn tour across the continent.
